Conservation Grazing, Education and Craft, North Cotswolds
Conservation Grazing, Education and Craft, North Cotswolds
Meet Holly, a very experienced land worker, surveyor and land agent with ten years experience lambing large flocks seasonally alongside a burgeoning conservation grazing business of 30-60 sheep working with private landowners and on a local community solar project. Holly is looking to expand her business moving towards a fibre flock with a focus on land management as well as developing rural craft, which will complement the raw honey she produces from her natural beekeeping enterprise.
An indoor space with electricity is essential for the business and would accommodate the craft and food production aspect as well as allowing for Holly to deliver courses for the local community, especially to younger children where she would work with the land and the seasons to teach rural skills.
In addition to indoor space Holly is looking for additional sheep grazing for her growing flock, although the scale is negotiable she would need access to water. She already sells her products online and at local markets, but would like to be able to offer farm gate sales and the opportunity to host workshops on site. Work has already started on a business plan with hopes to work with two friends full time on site.
Holly would be a great addition to any farm looking at enterprise stacking; she brings a range of products and services, engagement with the local community, strong local links and contacts for land management, exceptional qualifications and is a Fellow of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers.
